Hurwitz's Orphan X series books never disappoint. Well constructed stories, propulsive action, and just the right touch of humor throughout.
I've fallen behind though. I have three more to read to get up-to-date. (

In the last(???) of the Orphan X series, Evan Smoak takes on city corruption in Los Angeles that has already ripped one family apart… and may be threatening the few people he has come to care about in his spartan existence. I liked how this wound down the series, keeping the badass Orphan X missions (and all the Joey scenes—so my favorites!) while showing Evan’s human side and that he couldn’t keep up the former assassin turned hero defender side of what he did forever. The last action scene was one of my favorites of the series.

Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader.

This was a fun, action thriller but I think I should have read a few of the earlier books in the series as I felt I was missing something. At the time, I didn't realise this was the fifth instalment in the Orphan X series but it was still an enjoyable read (

The New York Times bestselling Orphan X returns - just when Evan Smoak thinks he's done, his deadliest job yet pulls him back Into The Fire...
Evan Smoak lives by his own code.
Once he was known as Orphan X. Trained as an off-the-books government assassin and spoken about only in whispers, Evan Smoak was one of the most talented �?? and most feared �?? men in the Program. But he broke free and reinvented himself as The Nowhere Man, a figure shrouded in mystery, known for helping the truly desperate.
If anyone is truly desperate, it's Max Merriweather.
Max is at the end of his rope. His cousin has been brutally murdered, leaving Max an envelope that contains nothing but a mysterious key. However, someone really wants that key, badly enough that Max �?? and anyone he turns to �?? is in deadly danger. What seems like a simple job for The Nowhere Man turns out to be anything but. Behind every threat he takes out, a deadlier one emerges and Evan Smoak must put himself in greater danger than ever before as he heads once more Into
